Rexton's POV. Levin really bothers me. Even though I don't really know who he really is, I don't like it when he and mom look close. Especially when he looked at Matilda, I felt he was also attracted to her. I really don't want to lose Matilda, especially now that I've made up my mind to continue choosing her even though I've met my mate. Before mama had time to answer, Matilda's bedroom door was heard opening. I turned towards the source of the voice and saw him ready to go to meet Lennon and Annette. "Don't embarrass yourself, Matilda. Be polite." Mama got up from her seat when she saw Matilda coming out of the room. "Sure, Mom." She nodded her head. "Then Matilda and I will go now." I said to mom when Matilda was not far from me. Mom smiled. "Be careful." I nodded my head, then opened my arms slightly to make room for Matilda to put her arm around me. My heart felt like it was beating twice as fast. I really couldn't imagine how Annette and Lennon would react when I came
Rexton's POV. It was starting to get dark, a tinge of orange appeared in the west end. Matilda and I enjoyed it from inside the castle. Seeing the beautiful evening view felt very winning. Glancing at the watch around my left wrist, it was half past eight in the evening. In half an hour it was dinner time. I moved my body closer to Matilda, wrapped my arms behind her and placed them on one shoulder. I rubbed it slowly. "Are you happy?" I asked, looking at Matilda who was staring at the sunset. She nodded her head without a smile. "I'm afraid that your father doesn't like me either." "So what?" My forehead frowned. "I don't think Annette likes me," said Matilda, looking me straight in the eyes. "She didn't looked friendly when drinking tea earlier." I chuckled at Matilda's words. "You've just met her for the first time, Matilda, you shouldn't immediately assume that she doesn't like you." I tried to calm her heart. "She doesn't get along with new people easily." "Are you seri
Matilda's POV. My anger peaked when I saw Amelie's presence in the castle. The feeling of hatred that had slowly faded was now thick again. I hate Alpha Rexton and Amelie again. Maybe she had set foot in this castle before me. She also drank tea together with Annette, even though I should have been in her position at the moment. Of course this really made me angry. When I saw her here for the first time, I immediately wanted to scream at her and that's what I did. Amelie got up from her seat, and so did Annette. "Excuse me." She lowered hier head. "I just came here to give you a letter from Mr. Anderson, Alpha Rexton." "What letter?" My eyes looked at the brown envelope that Amelie gave Alpha Rexton. "I don't know, my job is just to deliver it." She gave it while still lowering her head. Alpha Rexton received the medium sized brown envelope. "I have to go, thank you." After talking to my lover while still looking down, she now turned towards Annette still with the same body pos
Matilda's POV. Hearing the question asked by Annette, I was silent for a moment. In my heart I was starting to be alert, perhaps the question he asked this time was a trap. "I don't see whether he is an Alpha or not, even if he is not an Alpha, I still love him." I took a breath of air for a moment, tried to remain calm in front of Annette who was now looking at me. "Since we first met, he was the one who understood me the most. Actually, I can't get close to people quickly, but he managed to do it perfectly, he also understands me and what I like, his attitude makes me comfortable." Annette's lips smiled slightly at my explanation, I could see that. "That's where you first met." "Bus stop." I answered quickly. "That was the first time I met Alpha Rexton. There was no conversation or even a single word that came out of either of our mouths, we just looked at each other." "You are still trying to hold back and close yourself off." I nodded with Annette's statement. "That's rig
Matilda's POV. "Maybe this will be difficult for me, I don't want to leave Alpha Rexton because he understands and has been with me longer, but if I reject my mate, the wolf in me will feel tormented. This is a difficult choice." I said, now I felt like I was telling het about what I was going through now. "Then who will you choose? Will it be Rexton or will you choose to be with your mate." I was silent for a moment. "Rexton." I answered then. "Why?" "I can see the seriousness in Alpha Rexton about how serious he is about me." I said, earnestly. "I will still choose Alpha Rexton as my life partner." "Not because you want to be a Luna?" I quickly shook my head. "Of course not." I answered immediately. "I don't even want to be Luna actually, it's a big responsibility. I have to put the interests of the pack before myself, I also have to think about the survival of the pack and protecting it from all threats." "I think from your answer earlier, you are worthy enough to be Luna.
Matilda's POV. This is a rare opportunity. Moreover, I have been waiting for a long time to be able to do this. If I look at it every time Alpha Rexton and I make a video call, every corner of the room always looks beautiful. I became curious about what the original was like. Not wanting to waste the opportunity, I nodded my head. In my mind I was already imagining how beautiful an Alpha's room would be in the castle where he lived. I saw Alpha Rexton's lips smiling, he welcomed me well. "Let's continue the tour with me and this time the room we will tour is my private room," said Alpha Rexton, following Beta Luke's observant and boring speaking style. I chuckled at him. My head nodded. "Surely your room will be very nice." "Yeah, I tidied it up earlier. I felt like you would come here, so I asked the maid to tidy it up." "That's why you left earlier? So you weren't really looking for your father?" "I'm looking for Lennon." He nodded. "After meeting him, I went here and asked
Matilda's POV. I was really made to fly until I was satisfied by Alpha Rexton. My body felt very weak in his arms. Making love felt so great and hot, next time I want to do it again. My smaller body sank into Alpha Rexton's broad chest. I can smell his perfume which is so fresh. My eyes closed, enjoying the fragrance. Neither Alpha Rexton nor I have yet put clothes back on. I still feel very tired, I want to close my eyes for a moment. "I love you very much, Matilda." Hearing these words, I was silent for a moment. "I love you too, Alpha Rexton." "Why are you quiet first?" "You very rarely say love sentences to me, I'm just surprised." "Didn't you think of anything else?" I shook my head. "How can I think of anyone else if all I have is you." "Thank God, I'm very happy to hear that. I hope that forever there will only be me in your heart." "I also hope so." Realizing that I was going to have dinner with Lennon and Annette later, I immediately got up and picked up my cloth
Matilda's POV. "Dinner time has arrived, but they haven't come here yet. So I want to--" "But it's them." I interrupted, it seemed Alpha Rexton hadn't had time to see them when he got up from his seat. Alpha Rexton's eyes looked towards the entrance. He was silent for a moment watching his parents arrive. When Lennon and Annette were near the dining table, I also stood up and gave them a smile. After that the four of us sat in our respective chairs. "Are you waiting for us, Rexton?" Annette asked as she sat up. "Of course I'm waiting for you guys." "You know, he even gave up waiting and was going to call you guys." I chuckled, trying to act like I had known Annette for a long time. "Argh, I thought you guys didn't want to have dinner with us," said Alpha Rexton, and that's what I was thinking earlier. "Impossible, I couldn't possibly refuse if I had to have dinner with a beautiful wolfwoman like her." Lennon moved his chin towards me, making me look down. "Lennon!" said Ann
Amelie's POV. Hearing the good news, I immediately ran to the hotel and woke my friend up. I can't wait to see Griffin again soon, I hope he can be rescued easily and is in good condition. "Hailey ... Hailey, wake up. We have to go to the castle now. Alpha Rexton is going to attack where Gloria is tonight. He said we have to wait for his arrival at the castle." "Attack? Tonight? Are you serious, Amelie? You're not dreaming, are you?" I shook my head quickly. "No, I just met Alpha Rexton earlier. Get up, I'll call Andrew and Ben." "Where--where did you meet Alpha Rexton earlier, Amelie?" Hailey still doesn't seem to believe it. Meanwhile I left the hotel room and went to the next room to call Andrew and Ben. I didn't have time to answer his question. My two feet walked quickly. I don't know how many times I pressed the bell until Ben finally opened the door with his pillow face. Just like Hailey, he also looked like he didn't believe it, but I still convinced him. Now the four
Griffin's POV. I don't know how long I've been in this basement. About an hour ago Gloria delivered food which only consisted of one biscuit and a glass of water. I still felt hungry if I only ate that, but Gloria didn't give me any more, she actually threatened me by not giving me any more to eat if I asked for more. This left me with no other choice but to nod and endure my hunger. Besides, this was also my fault for not obeying what she said. My eyes looked forward, to the basement walls which were not neat and were still in the form of dirt. It looks like this basement has never been repaired and continues to be like this or this is a newly built basement, I don't know. Tired of sitting, I lay down. I could only curl up and cry, missing my mother who never came to save me. The sound of the door lock opening again was heard, I saw Gloria descending the stairs while covering her nose. The basement is really dirty and smelly, it's because of my poop. My chained feet meant I could
Rexton's POV. I really didn't expect that Matilda and Levin were mates. Realizing this, it was as if Matilda was pushing me backwards and further away from her. Matilda was still standing in the same place. She looked at me intently. What she said just now was not wrong. I still often think about Amelie and even regret rejecting her. Can Matilda see my attitude clearly? I never realized it. "Yeah, Levin and I are mates." Matilda said after a moment, reassuring me. "S--since when did you know?" "Since the first time I met him after not seeing each other for several years." Matilda answered without hesitation. "I met him at the bus stop when I was going to work." "Why ... why didn't you tell me, Matilda?" Matilda sighed. "Didn't you also tell me that you were mates with Amelie?" Instead of answering, she just threw the question back at me. I was silent at Matilda's question. We were both wrong. If only Matilda had said that she was mate with Levin from the start, maybe I would
Rexton's POV. "Y--you got it too?!" Beta Luke nodded his head so easily. "Y--yes, Alpha Rexton." He reached into his pocket. "Look at this." I complied and received the smartphone from Beta Luke. Previously, my eyes had looked at him for a few moments before I finally looked at the smartphone. On the smartphone I found the same photo as the one I got, even the foreign number who sent it was the same. My forehead furrowed, I was curious about who was actually behind this strange number. How come the foreign phone number knows my cell phone number, Beta Luke and even Mr. Anderson? Is it possible that they didn't just send the photos to me and people related to me too? What if the photo gets spread? What if this photo gets spread? There are many questions present in my mind and they are very disturbing. "Find out about it." I said as I returned the smartphone to Beta Luke who was the owner. "We're going back to the castle now." "Okay, Alpha Rexton." The car drove slowly away from
Rexton's POV. I saw the car in which Amelie and her friends were traveling away from the castle through the window in the work room. The car just passed by until it finally passed the gate and was no longer visible in my sight. I let out a rough breath, Amelie's presence back in my life seemed to be at the right time. At least that's what I'm partnering with now. After I could no longer see the car, I sat down on my work chair. My hands started to open the laptop and re-check the documents that seemed to be needed during the meeting later. A few moments passed and I felt that everything was complete and perfect, nothing was left behind and nothing was missing in the slightest. I really appreciate Beta Luke's performance, which is always satisfying. When I was about to go to get ready, I actually heard the sound of my smartphone beeping, indicating that I had received a short message. Not as usual, this time I was curious about what notifications came into my smartphone. I sat back
Griffin's POV. I took the thin cloth that Gloria said was a blanket, folded it several times and I lay face down on the basement ground. I tried my hand to reach the water droplets so that the cloth in my hand could catch the water droplets. My lips smiled when I saw what I was doing was working. Maybe by waiting a few moments I will get water to wet my throat which is already very dry. "Please speed up the dripping. I'm very thirsty, I want to drink." I said softly while continuing to pay attention to the cloth which was almost completely wet. The cloth was on top of my hand so that it was not directly exposed to the basement soil, only the top of the basement. However, I feel this water is clean enough and I can use it for drinking. Waiting for a few more moments, the cloth in my hand was already wet. Pulling my hand back, the cloth was already very wet and there were even droplets coming from it. I smiled and without waiting long immediately directed the cloth to my mouth. So
Griffin's POV. Gloria got up from her seat and came closer to me. I tried to dodge, but I was cornered and couldn't go anywhere. This left me with no choice but to just rebel through kicks or punches even though I knew it wouldn't have a big effect. Suddenly I felt something penetrate my skin. My body suddenly went limp and my eyes darkened. Like the curtains being slowly closed at night in a room without lights, I couldn't see anything but darkness. I was conscious for a few moments before finally I didn't remember anything anymore. *** My head felt dizzy and I started to open my eyes slowly. One thing I saw when I first opened my eyes was a hanging lamp with an orange light that wasn't burning very brightly. Feeling very unfamiliar with this place, I tried to move and at this moment I found my feet tied with chains. I couldn't go anywhere, the chains gripped my legs very tightly. "Wh--where am I?" I asked quietly, monologuing with myself. "It's like I'm in the basement." My e
Griffin's POV. "Aren't you hungry, Griffin?" Hailey asked while eating snacks. I shook my head. "No, but I feel like drinking milk. Can you make it for me? I can't make it myself because mommy put powdered milk on the top shelf." "Oh, why is that?" "In the past, I often ate powdered milk in secret while it was still on the table, so the milk ran out quickly and my mother scolded me. She said I shouldn't eat powdered milk directly, powdered milk should be brewed with boiling water and drunk." I explained long. With that explanation, Hailey actually chuckled. "Okay, okay, I'll make milk for you, Griffin." She said, then got up from the sofa. I didn't say a word in response to her sentence, I just nodded my head. My throat feels thirsty, that's why I'm uncomfortable talking. Even though I usually always make noise when I'm playing, now I'm always silent. I wanted to drink something sweet and that was milk, it felt like drinking milk this morning wasn't enough for me. Mom is worki
Amelie's POV. Escorted by Beta Luke, we all went to the hotel in question. There are two rooms prepared by Alpha Rexton and each room has twin beds. I went into the room with Hailey while Andrew was with Ben. Maybe I will need Hailey with me longer, that's why I don't want her to be with Ben even though that could happen. Entering the room, I immediately sat on the side of the bed. My eyes looked towards the window which showed a view of the city. It's been five years since I left this city and went to a bigger city not too close. I did everything to be able to forget Alpha Rexton and Matilda easily even though in reality there I met Delvia and Hailey who were the same people I met before going to the big city. I sighed. My thoughts are still on Griffin. From the voice I heard earlier he didn't seem to be in a bad condition. He was even able to speak while the sorcerer was conversing with me. Griffin was very brave to do that, but I felt scared. I hope that the sorcerer doesn't ge
